South Dskota's Congregational
churches, in convention at Sioux Falls,

moralized the president in protest
against the recent order from tile Indian
bureau forbidding mission schools and
religious organizstions from teaching
the Indian language TO their pupils.
The memorial asserts that the order con-
ficts With the purpose for Winch it was
issued. 1t was issued for the ostensible
purpose OF aiding the Indians in their
efforts acquire the rudiments of educa-
tion as stepping stone to civilization.
The memorial states that the order outs
off from many all opportunity for ac.
quiring instruction. This being true,
as it ie, the order does most seriously
conflict with the object for which it was
issued. 1t conflicts so decidedly that
more than half the Indian mission
schools have been summarily closed by
its enforcement The understanding OF
these Indians cannot be reached through
a 4 l
language entirely foreign to their oom-
prehension and they osnnot be taught
this language except through rudimen-
tary cultivation in their own tongue.

Can hear strange voices eyermore-
Voices Of dear ones gone before
Yes, and almost see them, us hear,
Waiting on the other shore.
Now the branches stir and the shadows
move,
Until my fancy fills the glades
With the faces and forms used TO love.
See they come nearer, 'tll tho shades
Are lii with such subtle yet nameless rays.
The rustling leaves make ale sweet,
While the broad river at my feet
In accord sings Of long forgotten days
In quaint una magical lays.
| enter the world All the worlds severe;
Noone believes what have seen,
The soulless and cold, holding nothing dear
But fame, and its gllttcrng sheen.
Yet know what know, and love to think
That those we knew In days OF yoro
Are waiting, watching. cyermore--
Earnestly watching, on the misty brink
OF the dim and wondrous shore.
There may be some hearts that tremble to
dream
OF those mute watchers, near, yet far;
pity the hearts, whatever they seem,
And mourn that many there are.
o surely no sweetness can match with this
To know that when life Is o'er
The friends that we lived 10 adore
VIII be there with welcome and greeting kiss,
Waiting on the other shore
